Le gouvernement doit mettre fin \u00e0 l'isolement des prisonniers souffrant de troubles mentaux <\/strong><\/p>\n

Toronto, ON \u2013 22 mars 2010 \u2013<\/p>\n

Les prisons canadiennes doivent r\u00e9\u00e9valuer radicalement leur utilisation de l'isolement cellulaire, en particulier en ce qui concerne les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l'Association canadienne des libert\u00e9s civiles dans une lettre envoy\u00e9e au ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique. L'ACLC s'est jointe \u00e0 d'autres groupes concern\u00e9s, la Criminal Lawyers Association, l'Association canadienne des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s Elizabeth Fry, la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 John Howard du Canada, la BC Civil Liberties Association et les Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de la schizophr\u00e9nie de l'Ontario et du Canada, pour exprimer leur pr\u00e9occupation au sujet de la pratique de l'isolement cellulaire dans notre pays.<\/p>\n

Le rapport de l'enqu\u00eateur correctionnel de 2008 sur la mort d'Ashley Smith, qui s'est suicid\u00e9e dans sa cellule d'isolement sous le regard de ses gardiens, a mis en lumi\u00e8re les ressources inad\u00e9quates en sant\u00e9 mentale dans les prisons, le recours \u00e0 l'isolement pour g\u00e9rer la maladie mentale et les effets n\u00e9fastes que l'isolement peut avoir sur sant\u00e9 mentale. L'isolement des d\u00e9tenus souffrant de troubles mentaux s'est toutefois poursuivi et il semble maintenant qu'un autre cas fait surface en Saskatchewan, o\u00f9 une femme atteinte de maladie mentale grave a \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9e en isolement et soumise \u00e0 des contraintes physiques pendant plus d'un mois.<\/p>\n

\u00ab C'est un enjeu, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Nathalie Des Rosiers, que le gouvernement canadien ne peut plus se permettre d'ignorer. Nos prisons rel\u00e8guent de plus en plus des individus \u00e0 l'isolement \u2013 une restriction s\u00e9v\u00e8re \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 d'une personne \u2013 sans contr\u00f4le ind\u00e9pendant significatif. Les garanties et les m\u00e9canismes de surveillance actuellement en place sont inad\u00e9quats et ne s'appliquent tout simplement pas \u00e0 une partie croissante de la population carc\u00e9rale isol\u00e9e. Les institutions destin\u00e9es \u00e0 promouvoir l'ordre public doivent elles-m\u00eames \u00eatre r\u00e9gies par des lois ad\u00e9quates.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous sommes particuli\u00e8rement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par l'impact que des p\u00e9riodes importantes d'isolement et de privation ont sur les personnes souffrant de probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale. En l'absence de ressources ad\u00e9quates en sant\u00e9 mentale, nos prisons g\u00e8rent la maladie mentale au moyen d'un isolement prolong\u00e9. Selon les mots de l'enqu\u00eateur correctionnel f\u00e9d\u00e9ral du Canada, cette pratique n'est \u00ab\u00a0pas s\u00e9curitaire, ni humaine\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Au cours des dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, des mesures visant \u00e0 r\u00e9former le recours \u00e0 l'isolement cellulaire ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9clam\u00e9es dans de nombreux rapports de groupes de travail, de commissions et de m\u00e9diateurs gouvernementaux. Le Rapporteur sp\u00e9cial des Nations Unies sur la torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou d\u00e9gradants a approuv\u00e9 la recommandation selon laquelle les d\u00e9tenus souffrant de troubles mentaux ne devraient jamais \u00eatre plac\u00e9s \u00e0 l'isolement. Les tribunaux des \u00c9tats-Unis ont conclu qu'un tel traitement constitue une peine cruelle et inusit\u00e9e. Au Canada, le rapport du Bureau de l'enqu\u00eateur correctionnel de 2008-2009 indique que la pr\u00e9valence de d\u00e9linquants ayant des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale importants au moment de l'admission a doubl\u00e9 au cours des cinq derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, et les statistiques montrent que le nombre d'incidents d'automutilation signal\u00e9s dans les la d\u00e9tention a doubl\u00e9 au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Alors que ces probl\u00e8mes apparaissent de plus en plus souvent dans nos prisons, nous devons reconna\u00eetre que l'isolement cellulaire n'est pas une solution.<\/p>\n

L'inqui\u00e9tude suscit\u00e9e par le recours injustifi\u00e9 de Corrections Canada \u00e0 l'isolement cellulaire n'est pas un nouveau probl\u00e8me. Pr\u00e8s de 14 ans se sont \u00e9coul\u00e9s depuis que la juge Arbour a conclu que \u00ab\u00a0la gestion de l'isolement pr\u00e9ventif que j'ai observ\u00e9e est incompatible avec la culture de la Charte qui impr\u00e8gne d'autres branches de l'administration de la justice p\u00e9nale\u00a0\u00bb. Elle a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 insister sur le fait qu'il n'y avait \u00ab pas d'autre alternative \u00e0 l'abus actuel de l'isolement prolong\u00e9 que de recommander qu'il soit plac\u00e9 sous le contr\u00f4le et la supervision des tribunaux \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Le Service correctionnel du Canada (SCC) n'a pas mis en \u0153uvre les examens ind\u00e9pendants recommand\u00e9s. En plus du nombre croissant de d\u00e9tenus soumis \u00e0 l'isolement, la dur\u00e9e moyenne du s\u00e9jour \u00e0 l'isolement a consid\u00e9rablement augment\u00e9 au cours des dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. De plus, le SCC utilise de plus en plus des \u00ab unit\u00e9s de transition \u00bb pour loger les d\u00e9tenus. Ces unit\u00e9s de transition, que le bureau de l'enqu\u00eateur correctionnel a appel\u00e9es \u00ab\u00a0isolement sous un autre nom\u00a0\u00bb, ne sont soumises \u00e0 aucun examen ni proc\u00e9dure r\u00e9guli\u00e8re. Il n'y a pas de statistiques disponibles sur les d\u00e9tenus d\u00e9tenus dans des \u00ab unit\u00e9s de transition \u00bb, sugg\u00e9rant des taux d'isolement cellulaire encore plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s que ceux officiellement publi\u00e9s. Ce manque de processus juridique et de transparence exige un examen et une r\u00e9forme de la pratique actuelle de l'isolement cellulaire dans les prisons canadiennes<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
